The author as the head of the Hungarian library standardization committee, introduces two studies targeted for the participants of this forum, in order to explain the regulation KSZ/5 “Geographical names as access points to retrieving records” issued in July 2005. Then she reports on the new model of the IFLA UBCIM Working Group on Functional Requirements and Numbering of Authority Records (FRANAR), the draft paper called “Functional Requirements for Authority Records.“ This draft paper analyses the the entities of authority records, their qualities and relations. Furthermore it lists the qualities related to access points too. Another important chapter deals with the relations between authority data. The FRAR (earlier FRANAR) draft paper is still being fine-tuned, but apparently, it does not deal with subject authority data, e.g. geographical names, in connection with which Hungary was the first country to introduce a regulation. In order to enhance searching, the producers of the Hungarian regulation have also integrated the achievements of the use of national and international thesaurus standards.
